Heroku is a container-based cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) for deploying, managing, and scaling modern applications.

Heroku is a fully managed, container-based cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) that drastically simplifies the application delivery lifecycle. Developers use Heroku to deploy, manage, and scale their applications without the operational burden of maintaining servers or infrastructure: it handles the complexity. The platform supports a polyglot environment (Node.js, Ruby, Java, Python, Go, PHP, Scala) and uses 'dynos' (smart containers) for application execution and scaling. Deployment is streamlined via Git, GitHub, or Docker, allowing teams to focus on code and business logic, not system administration. Key features include managed data services (Heroku Postgres, Redis), an Add-ons Marketplace, and seamless integration with the Salesforce ecosystem.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Eliminating Waste in the AI Augmented SDLC](https://nashville.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_uMKhslYmRfU)

When AI can use the same tools you use - Jira, GitHub, Sentry - the bottleneck in software development shifts from writing code to everything around the code. I applied lean manufacturing principles (Toyota Production System) to my own AI-augmented workflow and systematically removed entire categories of waste: manual ticket management, error triage, deployment monitoring, and ambiguous specifications that lead to expensive rework. I’ll walk through the specific patterns - MCP tool handoff, Gherkin specs as agent contracts, pre-flight checklists derived from PR review audits - and show how each elimination is permanent and reveals the next layer.

### [Email Prediction Model](https://dubai.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_26RJ2ynoCYI)

Fed and trained on my personal data to predict if I will open and read an email. This way I can prioritize emails that I think are important while ignoring the rest and staying productive with my day. Displays the predictions onto the UI of my gmail account.
